ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

For Revelation, films are a backdrop to a wider conversation.

The festival is designed to showcase ideas right at the front of contemporary independent film and moving image and find a place for them in a conservative cinema and social environment. Among the new works lives curated archival programs that highlighted pivotal - often hidden - creative points over the decades.

The event includes around 150 international films presented at cinemas, galleries, cafes and bars across Perth and Fremantle. It attracts 15,000 patrons and 50 national and international guests over 13 days.

Since its inception, Revelation has included live music, gallery based visual arts and associated activity generated by the event or independent curators. It welcomes independently curated or initiated programs and ideas and actively embraces creative professional development opportunities.

It sees over 500 films submitted for selection from local and international filmmakers and includes an active, creative and argumentative screen conference and academic component.

Revelation maintains its focus on signature driven works and embraces audiences of all ages, tastes and backgrounds. Like the films it presents, the event maintains an energy and enthusiasm for the industry quite unlike any other film festival in the country.

Just finally, although no longer associated in anything more than spirit, we must acknowledge our founding sponsors REVelation Magazine and its founder Peter Collins. As purveyors of counter and youth culture, REVelation Magazine maintained an energy and powerful connection with its readership, making it one of the country's most progressive publications.

We are about cinema, ideas, politics, personality, history, access and equity.
